well, I don't know how to answer your question, but I know this

Things have gotten so bad that a number of retired generals are publicly speaking out about the 'purge' of the U.S. military that they believe is taking place.

Dozens of highly decorated military leaders have been dismissed from their positions over the past few years. So why is this happening? What is going on right now is absolutely crazy especially during a time of peace. Is there a deliberate attempt to reshape the military and remove those who don't adhere to the proper 'viewpoints' ? Does someone out there feel a need to get officers that won't cooperate out of the way?

Retired Army Major General Paul Vallely:

The White House protects their own. That's why they stalled on the investigation into fast and furious, Benghazi and Obamacare. He's intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.

Retired Navy Captain Joseph John:
I believe there are more than 137 officers who have been forced out or given bad evaluation reports so they will never make Flag (officer), because of their failure to comply to certain views.

A Pentagon official who asked to remain nameless, because they were not authorized to speak on the matter said:
Even young officers, down through the ranks have been told not to talk about Obama or the politics of the White House. They are purging everyone and if you want to keep your job just keep your mouth shut. Now this trend appears to be accelerating.

There is an easy way to resolve this. Trump can publish a list of the contributions pledged and received. More importantly, he should publish a list of payments made to specifically named veterans groups from this fundraiser.

The unwillingness of Trump to publish at least the list of specific payments made to veterans groups positively reeks of deception and corruption on his part.

That's more than we get with Hillary who never tells the truth or admits to it later. I don't see her raising an funds for vet's either. In fact she thinks the problems at the VA are unimportant to nonexistent.

"GO TRUMP" or live in Hillary's globalist 3rd word dump.

If you get $5 million in pledges, you report $5 million raised, its no different than the Jerry Lewis telethon and others. They ALL do it that way..

it looks like the $4.5 million claim is also incorrect:

Don't vote for somebody who raised such little money for veterans,

vote for those who raised nothing for veterans.

And that's different than how the Pentagon treats its own?

Absolutely! I'm not insulting him, I'm giving him my opinion about this donation and his protest. He's supposed to be fighting for my first amendment rights just as much as his own. Any good marine would understand that.
